            Bug ID: 216002
           Summary: When a break point is set, nested virtualization sees
                    "kvm_queue_exception: Assertion
                    `!env->exception_has_payload' failed."
           Product: Virtualization

          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: kvm

Archive file that contains 1.img and 2.img

One configuration that reproduces this bug:
CPU model: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00GHz
Host kernel version: 5.17.6-200.fc35.x86_64
Host kernel arch: x86_64
Guest: I am running a microhypervisor called XMHF. It is 32-bits. I am using
the microhypervisor to launch a nested guest OS I wrote myself, called LHV.
This bug still exists if using -machine kernel_irqchip=off
It is impossible to test this bug with -accel tcg, because TCG does not support
nested virtualization.

How to reproduce:

This bug happens when the guest is debugged. So first start GDB:
gdb --ex 'target remote :::1234' --ex 'hb *0' --ex c
The command above will simply set a break point in the guest. The address of
the break point (0 in this case) is arbitrary

Then, in another shell, run QEMU:
qemu-system-i386 -m 512M -gdb tcp::1234 -smp 2 -cpu Haswell,vmx=yes -enable-kvm
-serial stdio -drive media=disk,file=1.img,index=1 -drive
media=disk,file=2.img,index=2

1.img and 2.img are attached as a.tar.xz in this bug report. If interested,
1.img's source code is
https://github.com/lxylxy123456/uberxmhf/tree/a8610d2f9e69263c014b5e48270e42690b73b85d
. 2.img's source code is
https://github.com/lxylxy123456/uberxmhf/tree/10afe107cbeadb1c4dbe7f9b8e41c2a50c47bda5
.

After running QEMU and GDB above, XMHF and LHV will print a lot of messages in
the serial port:

...
CPU #0: vcpu_vaddr_ptr=0x01e06080, esp=0x01e11000
CPU #1: vcpu_vaddr_ptr=0x01e06540, esp=0x01e15000
BSP(0x00): Rallying APs...
BSP(0x00): APs ready, doing DRTM...
LAPIC base and status=0xfee00900
Sending INIT IPI to all APs...

Then I see an assertion error:

qemu-system-i386: ../target/i386/kvm/kvm.c:645: kvm_queue_exception: Assertion
`!env->exception_has_payload' failed.

Expected result: KVM should not crash. The behavior should be the same as if
only the QEMU runs (i.e. GDB does not run)
